Donald Trump and Elon Musk are described as a powerful duo following the election, with Musk acting as a highly influential advisor.

Protests organized by MoveOn.org against Musk's influence are noted for having small crowds.

A "SCOTUS Rapid Response Action Guide" is circulating among progressive groups like MoveOn and the Sunrise Movement.

The origins of MoveOn.org were traced back to a Berkeley software company known for the "flying toaster" screensaver.

During a MoveOn.org forum, a protester jumped onto the stage and grabbed the microphone from Senator Kamala Harris.

The mainstream media is accused of covering up the organized nature of recent Republican town hall protests.

RT reporter Yan Chichican details how George Soros-funded groups like MoveOn.org organized "spontaneous" anti-Trump protests within hours of the election. The report highlights the irony of Clinton supporters slamming the electoral system they had praised just days prior to the vote.

The hosts examine the media coverage of a high-profile sexual assault case at Stanford University. They highlight a report that activists from MoveOn.org and Daily Kos delivered "empty boxes" to a commission as a staged photo opportunity for a petition.

Former Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers was identified as an organizer during the protests that led to the cancellation of a Donald Trump rally at the University of Illinois Chicago.

Former NSA Director Michael Hayden was live-tweeted by former MoveOn.org director Tom Matsey while giving an off-the-record phone interview on an Acela train.

Fitzgibbon Media is identified as the PR firm representing both Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

The Obama administration is accused of inciting class warfare by highlighting Warren Buffett's claim that his secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does.

The discussion clarifies that the discrepancy is due to capital gains tax rates versus income tax rates, while also mocking billionaire Ted Turner's complaints about selling assets.

MoveOn.org and the Associated Press are accused of scrubbing historical records and criticisms of General David Petraeus from their websites.
